Peach and Whiskey Glazed Red Wine Pork Chops
Kent "The Deck Chef" Whitaker
Versions of this recipe have been used in several of my cookbooks including the Georgia Hometown Cookbook as well as Great American Grilling. You can choose your cut of pork starting with pork chops – bone-in or bone out! You can also use this method for flavoring grilled pork steaks, tenderloin, and even ribs.

- 6 pork chops 1/2 inch thick or more
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup red wine use your favorite red wine
For the Whiskey Peach Glaze
- Splash of oil
- 1 can sliced peaches (or 3-4 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced) reserve some of the juice from the can
- ½ small sweet onion, diced
- ⅔ cup Whiskey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ stick butter
Preparation
Place the pork chops in a glass baking dish or zip-close bag. Add salt, pepper, and several splashes of red wine. Coat evenly, cover or seal, chill for 2-3 hours.
Cooking
Heat a skillet with a small amount of oil. As the temperature rises add in the sliced peaches, half of the juice from the can if using canned peaches, and onions. Allow simmering for a few minutes then add whiskey, brown sugar, vinegar, and butter. Stir until butter is melted, onions are very tender and well mixed.
Grill the pork chops over medium-high heat turning as needed. Grill to an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Brush heavily with Peach and Whiskey Glaze before removing from grill. Top each chop with a slice or two of peaches.
Baste the chops once off the grill with any remaining peach and whiskey sauce. And yes, as mentioned above – you can use bourbon in place of Tennessee Whiskey. I just happen to live close to Lynchburg, Tennessee. That’s the home of Jack Daniels – so using Tennessee Whiskey as an ingredient comes naturally to me.
